Willingly Would I Burn

"In this exciting new collection, Laura LeHew gives us poems of the most adventurous kind. Re-purposing the skeletal language and visual constructs of science and math, of computers and banking and even of standardized testing-utilizing, as well, both conventional and invented poetic forms-LeHew's philosophical algorithms are at once both personal and universal: poems of witness and social awareness, of love and loss, of happiness and its limits, of family dysfunction, health care, and a wide range of social ills that stem from the 'arrogant discourse' of those in charge. Willingly Would I Burn expands my horizons and gives me heart."
-Ingrid Wendt, author of Evensong
